@MisterBoring Hah. Yeah, I’ve scheduled events where nobody shows up, but I’ve never felt like it made me a nuisance. Usually it just means that the game’s been dragging, I am trying to help it pick up, but player enthusiasm has waned severely.
I do feel like it’s different with +events stuff – I put up a +event, you sign up but you don’t show up? No biggie. I send a personal invitation specifically to you and you RSVP yes, but then don’t show up? Still not really a biggie, but it’s gettin’ towards a mediumie.
ETA: I mean I think it’s fine to sign up for +events you’re not really sure you can make. Maybe you want the updates just in case you can, and just want to express interest. “Don’t sign up if you are not sure you can make it and join on time/within x period,” would be something the organiser would specify if need be.

Ooh. Another peeve of mine:
People who attempt to argue rules that are clearly written.
Two Examples:
-
A player in a combat scene in a tabletop D&D 3.5 game I played in tried to claim that Improved Initiative was situational and per the PHB did not apply to the combat scene we were involved in. Improved Initiative in the 3.5 PHB has some of the simplest and clearest rules text in that book.
-
A player in a Vampire game tried to argue that they shouldn’t have to make a degeneration roll for killing a feeding victim on accident while at Humanity 8. While the Humanity rules aren’t exactly simple, they do clearly state that accidental killing is a degeneration roll when you are Humanity 6 or higher.

People who think staff have so much power that they have to be always polite and obsequious to players or it qualifies as abusive.
Fucking weirdos.
In Occam I trust.

If it’s what I think it’s about, here is my measured and fair synopsis:
Guy: “I hate everything about the setting I’m connected to, and I refuse to do anything proactive about it. I remain a fully blank slate and it’s everybody else’s problem, and also fault.”
Staffer: “jesus christ you can do things for yourself”
Guy: “You are not a nice person.”
Other guy: “This is akin to a police shooting.”Except it went on for twenty minutes.

I am kind of hoping a log turns up at some point!
